<p>I'm about to start my sophomore year in college and I screwed up my first semester at got an F in a calc class. I retook it this summer and got an A. My college replaces the original failing grade so my overall GPA rose from a 3.3 to a 3.7. However, I know that LSAC will still count that F since it stays on my transcript. I calculated it and even if I get straight A's my entire sophomore and junior year, the highest my GPA can go is 3.7 or a 3.5 if I get straight A-'s because of that one stupid F. If I finally buckle down and get all A's for the next two years, would a T5 law school overlook a 3.5-3.7 GPA if my only bad grade was in my freshman year of college?</p>
<p>yes they will, in fact, they tend to look more towards your ending years rather than your beginning years, don’t let this one grad disparage you, esp since you made it up. If you get all straight As, you will have as good a shot as if you never got the F</p>
